OVERCOME (2023, 7:30, UK)
Music: Karthago by ORYMA (https://sound.aryacuna.com/karthago)
"In Overcome, London-based digital video artist Guli Silberstein imagines potential futures spanning utopia and dystopia, via AI-inspired and AI-generated imagery, highlighting an unrelenting tension between humankind and technology. Themes such as transhumanism, embodiment, power relations, and the bleed between virtual worlds and reality—plus notions of a digital consciousness—are woven into its narrative. As the voice states, “Life is a dream of Time,” hinting at how technology can allow our lives, bodies, and minds to extend across various dimensions.
Overcome relies on a visionary language populated by monsters, devils, and masks, addressing both perceptual shifts and the shape-shifting construction of identity. There is a nod to expressionist painting reminiscent of Ensor or Otto Dix, and their critiques of social classes and power structures. Adopting a storytelling approach, the perpetual morphing and shifting of figures, spaces, and objects is reinforced by an upbeat techno track—Karthago by ORYMA."

SOMEWHERE WE LIVE IN LITTLE LOOPS
(2020, UK, 5 minutes)
A machine-learning based video-prediction technology learns and then re-creates a string of nature scenes and human life images. Woven together in a rhythmic, hypnotic pace, visual snippets and motion patterns appear, reborn and fall apart. The video segments begin "normally" and are then being continued by the computing process to become a "new normal". The result is surprising, eerie and poetic, raising both concerns and wonder regarding human-machine relationships, and future effects.

MIND/MIRROR
Video Installation (1 or 6 screens), 2024
MIND/MIRROR is an urgent reflection on the power of advanced AI to produce large quantities of impactful art, fed by historical datasets of visual culture and combined with and ignited by the human artist’s imagination. It also references the vast distribution & consumption of video on social media platforms. The ‘wall’ of the video installation is an expansion of the ‘wall’ of media content we’re scrolling through on our phones. It’s an expression of the video bombardment by social media applications so prominent in our lives, both evolving and paralysing us.
A celebration of the current visual richness and the interconnectedness of our digital lives, the work invites contemplation on the role of technology and art in shaping our perception of the world and provides a visually captivating and thought-provoking experience for those who engage with it.
Presentations:
EpsomDX - a pioneering community engagement agency hosting digital immersive experiences in outdoor physical locations. Seven screens of six videos from the full MIND/MIRROR installation are installed in Madans Walk, Epsom UK, along an 18th-century brick wall. The video artworks will be revealed upon pointing the phone camera at specific locations, appearing on the smartphone’s screen as if existing in real space. Viewers will be able to inspect the screens from all angles and distances, while approaching, circling, and moving away from the artwork, all through the EpsomDX application.
The online gallery for CVPR 2024. Featuring artworks using or about computer vision, accessible via https://thecvf-art.com. Curated by Luba Elliott. The IEEE / CVF Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR) #cvpr2024 is the premier annual computer vision event

Description
The Cycles of Creation entity, composed as for now from a feature project and a short film, serves as a reflection on Artificial Intelligence. Meticulously crafted through an intricate process involving machine-learning models like text-to-image, text-to-text, and text-to-voice, the film weaves a narrative that connects past stories and ancient myths to contemporary perspectives and glimpses into the future. This AI fantasy, born from the very mechanics of artificial intelligence, serves as a thought-provoking exploration, shedding light on ecological concerns surrounding our planet, technology, and the human species
